Mr. Burke, owners of property adjoining the future street of
Joanbridge. Six parcels of property are Involved Mr.
Stearns is owner of two parcels and Mr. Hayes, Mr. Rogers,
Mr. Patterson and Mr. Burke each own one parcel. The letter
requested permission to install water lines, curbs and
gutters, and to black-top the street all necessary im-
provements needed to meet the City's specifications. The
owners of the property adjoining the proposed street stated
they were prepared to pay all costs for installing the street
which would amount to approximately $6,600.00.
COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN MOVED that the City Attorney be instructed
to draw a resolution granting the permission to provide the
water lines through the property now owned by the City; that
the participating property owners construct the curbs and
gutters and imrpove the street to City specifications; and
that the City retain the 2J ft. on each side of the City lot
adjacent to non-participating property owners until such time
as the non-participating property owners wished to have ingress
and egress on either side. At that time they would have to
purchase from the City, for a fair and reasonable value, the
24 ft. In order to have frontage on Joanbridge this would
be purchased from the City and withheld by the City for a
fair value price for the investment of the original property
that was involved. COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED.
Considerable discussion followed. Mr. Hayes and Mr. Stearns,
two of the participating property owners spoke concerning
their proposal.
As advised by City Attorney Gorlick, COUNCILMAN LITTLEJOHN
AMENDED his MOTION to provide that the non-participating
property owners will be required to pay for access to the
street on the basis of the actual cost of the improvement but
not to exceed the estimated cost of the Improvement thereof
with the proceeds received from the non-participating
property owners used first to reimburse the City for the cost
of the property and the balance used to reimburse the partici-
pating property owners. COUNCILMAN BISHOP SECONDED. The

Adjourned Regular Meeting of the Baldwin Park City Council
Mr. Manuel H. Davis requested Council's consideration regard-
ing the removal of the barricade on Virginia Avenue which now
permitted access to Mr. Syhre's property by the Pony League
Group. Mr. Davis stated that Mr. Syhre had not oiled the road,
therefore the dust was very bad in the neighborhood due to the
increased amount of traffic of the Pony League Group as well
as Mr. Syhre's trucks.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated he had talked with
Mr. Syhre and the Pony League Group and they had promised to
oil the road. It was the consensus of opinion the matter
should be Investigated by the Chief Administrative Officer.
00-
Copies of the tentative 1959-60 Annual Budget were submitted
to Council by Chief Administrative Officer Asmus. Included
with the Budget was a copy of a letter from the Baldwin Park
Chamber of Commerce requesting'$9,875.00 for use in advertis-
ing and promotion. The Chamber of Commerce presented a de-
tailed breakdown of how they expected to use the'money. In-
cluded, also, was a proposed ordinance to establish a publicity
and advertising fund which Mr. Asmus stated he planned to check
with the City Attorney.
Discussion followed, and it was the consensus of opinion that
study sessions on the Budget would be held at 8:00 P.M. on
June 17th, and at 7:30 P.M. on June 18th and 19th, and that
the June 15th regular meeting be adjourned to June 29th for
the hearing on the Budget.

With reference to the Clean-Up Campaign sponsored by the Baldwin
Park Chamber of Commerce and Members of the Fly Committee, Chief
Administrative Officer Asmus reported that 10,000 copies had
been printed and distributed of special regulations. The loca-
tion for the dump site areas have been selected and the public
will be permitted to dump combustible rubbish on the Hopkins-
Caiilier property next to the Littlejohn Dairy. The County
Fire Department will burn periodically and the non-combustibles
may be taken to the lot behind the City Hall for disposal at a
later date.
Mayor Cole reported that Boy Scouts will help in the door-to-
door clean-up campaign and Mrs. Johnson, Chairman of the Fly
Committee, asked if each Boy Scout Troop could be presented
with a written commendation for their efforts. Mayor Cole
stated that he had assured Mrs. Johnson he was confident
Council would approve.
00-
Mr. Phil Reach of the Baldwin Park Banner News, inquired about
the possibility of promoting a Beautification Project to follow
the Clean-Up Campaign. He stated that some Baldwin-Park
Nurseries had volunteered to donate trees for planting along the
Pacific Electric right-of-way; the 4-H Club had offered their
services to plant the trees and the Baldwin Park Junior Chamber
of Commerce was willing to provide and pay for the water; how-
ever, the outstanding problem was maintenance of the beauty
spots.

It was the consensus of opinion that the proposal would be a
wonderful contribution to the City; however, it would be
necessary to obtain the Pacific Electric Company's consent.
It was suggested that the Junior Chamber of Commerce make a
formal written request to the City Council so that action could
be taken.
